In Newport Beach Cryotherapy which is also known as cryosurgery, the extremely cold temperature is used in a liquid nitrogen chamber to destroy any abnormalities in your tissue and even remove tumors. Apart from nitrogen, some treatments also use argon or carbon dioxide gas. The low temperature of the gasses freezes anything that comes in contact with it and all the cancerous cells can be killed this way. This surgery is primarily used to treat any precancerous lesions or tumors found in your skin as well as inside your body. The side effects of such treatment are minimized with the advancement of medical science.

The purpose of such surgery is to destroy all the problematic tissues in your body. When several methods of treating cancer may have failed, cryotherapy can prove to be successful. It can also be used where conventional surgeries are not possible or risky for removing an internal organ. Apart from that when cancer replaces after other treatments, cryotherapy can be effective as well. Though there are some elements of risk involved in such therapy they are marginal as compared with other radiation and surgical treatment for cancer. The normal risks and side effects of such a surgery can be overcome with a little care after surgery and by following the instruction of your doctor.

The most common risks and effects that are included with cryotherapy are blisters and infection. It can also damage the nearby healthy tissues and result in the loss of any sensation in the nerves if they are affected. Scarring, pain, sexual dysfunction may be some other effects of such therapy apart from white skin marks at the site of the operation or ulcers. All these are well controllable, and there are some specific ways to do it during the aftercare process. Follow up with the doctors after surgery is essential especially if such surgery was performed on any internal organ in your body for which you may be asked to stay back in the hospital.

For other surgeries you can go home immediately after the surgery is completed and take care of the incision wounds or the frozen part of the skin as per the doctor’s instructions. You have to take proper care to change the bandages regularly to keep it free from any contamination and prevent any further infection. The success of the treatment and the progress of it would be adjudged by the doctor during the follow-up appointments.

The preparation for the surgery is simple and depends on the kind of surgery to be performed. Skin cancer treatment needs little or no preparation but for surgery for the internal organs would require you to take the same precautions as for any traditional surgery like keeping an empty stomach and others. Your medical history, allergy reports would be taken beforehand. You must consult your doctor to know about all other specific preparations and follow them precisely. After all these, the doctor would feed the targeted area with the liquid nitrogen which would freeze, kill the cell and would be absorbed by the body.
